Overview
EN IEC 61386-21:2021/A11:2021 is a key European standard focused on conduit systems for cable management, specifically addressing the particular requirements for rigid conduit systems. This amendment (A11) updates the 2021 version of EN IEC 61386-21, introducing important modifications such as environmental considerations and classification updates. Approved by CENELEC in May 2021, this document outlines specifications and testing requirements that ensure safety, durability, and compliance across electrical installations involving rigid conduits.
Developed by CLC/TC 213 "Cable management systems," this standard supports essential EU directives and harmonizes European technical requirements for conduit systems used in electrical and information installations.
Key Topics
Scope and Classification
The standard addresses rigid conduit systems used for cable protection and organization within electrical installations. It includes a new optional classification based on halogen content, differentiating between halogen-free and non-declared conduits to support safer environmental and fire safety standards.Environmental Properties
Amendment A11 introduces Clause 16 on environmental properties, mandating that conduit systems classified as halogen-free must comply with test methods described in EN 50642:2018 for halogen content. This reflects increasing industry focus on eco-friendly, fire-safe materials in cable management.Testing and Compliance
Compliance is verified through standard test methods, highlighting the need for manufacturers and users to ensure conduit systems meet the outlined halogen-free criteria when applicable. The addition of normative references such as EN 50642:2018 strengthens test method harmonization.Special National Conditions
Annex ZB defines special requirements or prohibitions that apply uniquely in certain countries (e.g., France and Spain), illustrating the standard’s adaptability to local regulatory and climatic conditions.
